Police officers from the research and intervention brigade (BRI) intervened by mistake in two homes on Monday during a series of arrests after an intrusion on a Lafarge site. The prosecutor called this mistake “a regrettable error” and said he was “sorry, just like the police” “I was shaking, I was crying,” said this resident, finally allowed to dress before being handcuffed according to her account.

These police interventions led to the arrest of 17 suspects, as part of an investigation into intrusion and damage to Lafarge cement factory in Eure, in December, led by the Anti-Terrorism Sub-Directorate (Sdat) of the judicial police. ‘I was half naked, the police were immediately very violent and aggressive, I asked them if I could at least get dressed and that made them crazy,’ said one woman who had just gotten out of bed when this unit intervened, according to France 3 Normandie.
